The bicyclist, 44, was riding on the right edge of the street with bags of groceries on his handlebars. The bike did not have lights.

Witnesses said the bicyclist was hit after suddenly veering left into the middle of the rightmost lane, possibly after losing control of the handlebars because of the weight of the bags.

The SUV's driver told police he didn't see the man in time and couldn't swerve out of the way because there was another vehicle to his left. The impact killed the bicyclist and sent him rolling over the SUV.
